Why is the Framework 16 getting left behind?
  • Ah, how lucky. I can't find one in stock anywhere.

    I guess I don't really need it, but still!

  • We want privacy but not that much
  • You do it elsewhere

  • Exclusive: Tesla to delay US launch of affordable EV, a lower-cost Model Y, sources say
  • I don't. They get a nice paycheck regardless and they choose to continue working for a psychotic asshole. You do have responsibility for that choice.

  • Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going?
  • That does leave the possibility of selling it to someone who does want to restore it.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?
  • So now you’re just going to discount the time I spent setting you up several use cases?

    I didn't thoughtlessly discount anything, I'm just saying that while "some people didn't see how cars could be useful" is true, it does not mean that everything that has doubters is actually a misunderstood wonder. Plenty of things with fervent true believers that have been supposed to change everything were, in fact, duds.

    And the reason for their overbooking, maximum profit, would be achieved seamlessly with a blockchain based ticketing system as there is no human input lag that causes double booking

    Human input lag is not generally the cause of overbooking. The overbooking is intentional. NFTs have no unique ability to prevent it. This is not a tech problem, and so it cannot be solved by tech. I'm open to the possibility that airline tickets are just a bad example, of course, and it wasn't even an example you presented.

    You keep arguing that there are other ways of doing the things that the programatic nature of NFT contracts offer but NONE of them provide it all in one ridiculously transparent, unfalsifiable open source way that can be literally implemented on every platform

    This is all rather vague. The benefits are not obvious, so you need to be more specific.

    That’s why I used the car and the horse example, you are the one saying: “Yes we already have horses already, why do we need a car? And how would a horse even USE a car you silly billy?”

    You might be the one who is saying "the hyperloop will change travel forever!" Everything you're writing seems like vague motivated reasoning presupposing that NFTs are the solution to problems that you don't even seem to understand.

    The really sad thing is I’m waiting for a moment of realization from you that it is blatantly clear you are incapable of achieving. Pretending to be open minded is intellectually dishonest

    😏

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?
  • You know a guy who first saw the new fangled automobiles once said 'That's all well and good, but where do you attach the horse?'

    Sure, but this is not a positive argument for your position. This does not mean that everything with doubters is, in fact, good and misunderstood.

    Tickets as NFTs are a great idea because it absolutely prevents overbooking. Did you ever even consider that? Can't mint more NFTs than the plane has seats

    You can prevent overbooking without blockchain/NFTs. Airlines overbook because they want to, and presumably they would still want to do so if they adopted NFT tickets. There is nothing about using blockchain that would prevent this, they would just mint more NFTs than there are seats for each flight with the hope/expectation that a few ticket holders would not show up.

  • China could sink all US carriers in 20 minutes, Pentagon chief warns
  • I hope that's true, but this is a common refrain with various adversaries used as the boogie-man.

    https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-117-the-always-lagging-us-war-machine

    The scam goes something like this: A weapons contractor and military-funded think tank publishes a supposedly neutral "report" or a handful "U.S. officials" run to a media outlet insisting the United States is "lagging behind" in a sector that incidentally coincides with said think tank's funders or government entity's interests. Credulous American media mindlessly repeats the claims, everyone acts panicked, treating the warning like a work of good faith, sober and objective analysis. Congress then reacts and uses media coverage to rationalize even more contracts to the very funders of the think tank that raised the warning, further bloating the Pentagon, State Department and CIA budgets. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, all the while portraying the U.S.'s gargantuan defense expenditures as paltry and insufficient.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?
  • I'm just not sure what utility this has for a traveler. You don't need NFTs to implement transferrable plane tickets, though this does seem to try to ensure that the airline(?) gets a cut of any sales between passengers. It's the same pattern every time with NFTs, the only thing they seem to do is complicate matters while attempting to make a market out of thin air and take a cut of any related transactions.

    No major US airline allows passengers to transfer tickets, and I don't think it's because they lack the technology to do so and NFTs would fill the void. If they did do this and it was possible to buy and sell plane tickets on an open blockchain based market, couldn't one just buy all of the tickets for popular flights and sell them at a markup?

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?
  • I have never heard of one realistic and useful plan for NFTs. And I like to be contrarian whenever possible, since I'm kind of a smug prick. Hit me with 'em!

  • Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch
  • Well, they wouldn't need to release those changes publicly.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Protests against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians were happening under Biden and they were crushed and with very few exceptions given no support by the Democrats. They paved the way for the Trump admins actions against Khalil and others. Unquestioning support for Israel even against our own citizens is a bipartisan position in the United States.

    Its not really useful to think of the Democrats as "the left." The left has no institutional power in the United States and is suppressed/coopted by both of the political parties.

  • Serious Question - Is the ActivityPub deletion problem a fatal flaw?
  • Yeah, my attitude towards this is that if I post something, I voluntarily lose control of it. Post accordingly.

  • Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2
  • Phantasy Star IV on the Genesis retailed for $99 in the US in 1995. That's like a game being $200 now. I think Star Fox 64 was $80, but it came with a rumble pak at least.

  • Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy?
  • Then what are they doing here?

  • Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch
  • It's an interesting point that without any IP law, GPL would be invalid and corporations could use and modify things like Lemmy without complying with the license.

  • That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into Windows
  • Aurora DX (which is based on Fedora atomic) has been the best distro I've used in a long time. Immutable OSes are great for general purpose desktop use! I set up a container for each development environment and never need to worry about conflicting dependencies anymore. But yeah, I wouldn't go with Steam OS for that. Steam works fine on pretty much any modern distro, so I don't see any obvious benefit to using it.

  • People who complain about article paywalls in comments are annoying and add nothing of any use to a discussion.
  • You can read paywalled articles. You aren't considering that possibilty because you think you're entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can't participate? It isn't. If that's not your point, what is it?

    We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.

  • People who complain about article paywalls in comments are annoying and add nothing of any use to a discussion.

    The entitled attitude and acting like there's something unethical about article paywalls makes me roll my eyes. Find a way to bypass it or a copy on one of the archive sites, and post that. Or post nothing. Responding with just "ugh paywall, how dare you/they" sucks.

    Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?

    I have recently started getting into film photography and I'm still learning the ropes. After buying a variety of color and black and white films to experiment with, I noticed that I somehow accidentally bought a couple of rolls of very high speed Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. At this point, all I have is a Kodak Ektar H35N and an Olympus Pen-EES 2 which has a max ISO of 400. Is the Ilford film useless to me, or can it be used at lower speeds in certain conditions?

    EDIT: This is tangential, but I was originally going to ask this question on Reddit instead of Lemmy because the conventional wisdom is that Lemmy isn't useful yet for more niche topics, but I thought "why not try Lemmy first anyway," and I'm glad I did. I found the most active film photography community on Lemmyverse.net (which hadn't yet even federated to my small instance) and it paid off. How nice!

    Remote Moderator actions still do not seem to work after upgrading to 0.18.5

    I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?
